Event Description

Prior to Race Day

The Hot Chocolate Experience starts from the minute you register. Keep an eye out for messages that will help enrich your race experience, including customizable fundraising pages and training programs tailored to your running goals.

Two weeks before the race, make sure to come back to our website to view and download the Participant Guide.
